  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

I have been looking for this info for a while to answer what the drive modes do to all the things they change when you switch them, especially the HTRAC.

Found this 2017 G90 Press Release:

Intelligent Drive Mode Type of Driving:

ECO Fuel Economy
SMART SPORT INDIVIDUAL
Adaptive Dynamic Focus Customized

Each drive mode alters transmission mapping, throttle responsiveness, suspension, steering and stability control, with specific modes adapted to function seamlessly with H-TRAC® AWD for those Genesis so equipped. The "Smart Shift" mode was developed with Genesis proprietary AI technology that detects driving information, analyzes driving patterns and then automatically optimizes the driving mode in real time for a truly adaptive driving experience. The Individual mode is completely customizable by the driver to input the settings that best fit his or her driving style.

H-TRAC® AWD system
An advanced H-TRAC® AWD system is available with either powertrain, for confident control under adverse driving conditions. This system features an electronic transfer case with active torque control and offers dual-mode Sport or Normal calibrations that are linked to the Intelligent Drive Mode. The H-TRAC system can direct up to 40 percent of available torque to the front axle, for enhanced traction in adverse conditions such as ice or snow. In more ideal conditions, the H- TRAC Sport calibration features a high degree of rear-drive bias for sportier cornering and acceleration characteristics, with up to 90 percent of available torque distributed to the rear axle. In addition, with the H-TRAC systems' Economy mode, up to 100 percent of available torque is distributed to the rear wheels for maximum driveline efficiency.


Hope this is helpful!
